Stupid boat motor ? for 20yo newbie
Hey ya'll, got a question i knows gonna sound real stupid but what the hell i just dont know the answer. Here goes...me and my dad have a 15 foot fiberglass boat in my backyard, it's been there for 4 or 5 years and finally we are all about fixing up the boat for some serious fishing. The boat itself is in really good condition my question is what horsepower outboard do we need for the boat? I've done research online for all this stuff even asked most everybody ive seen surfcasting at plum island but most of them dont have a boat nor do they want one. I think theyre crazy but anyway in all that research I haven't found out anything except that some boats have 5 hp some have twin 250hp which leaves a huge gap in between. My dad and I dont care about speed we just want to be able to go out 2-3 miles durin the summer for some striper and blues fishing and to just be out there relaxing on the water. Oh ya were not looking for anything brand new or expensive. We have a 35 hp mercury somethin or other in our garage but I have no idea if that's enough. Any help at all is REALLY appreciated. Think about it this way im only 20, how bout all you fishin veterans out there give out a little of your knowledge to the interested future of the sport. Sorry if this is long didnt know how to say it shorter. Thanks again, Mike from Boston
